JurgenDoe Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 TOKYO -- Americans invented the Internet, but the Japanese are running away with it.That's not right janice.Most Americans do not see Europe as the world leader in scientific research but they mistaken very big.The entire world is under the impression the WEB is an U.S. technology....WRONG WRONG WRONG"The Internet got invited in the Swiss from a research company called CERN (Conseil European pour la Researche Nucleare)CERN and Tim Berners got avarded for the invention of the "WORLDWIDE WEB"The Web began in CERN as a network of in-house computers sites. It enabled scientists from different departments to share daily findings with another one. :thumbsup_anim: Quote

cygnus Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Just upgraded my wireless network. Went from a fairly old Wireless B router to a brand new Wireless G router. Router is a D-Link WBR-1310. Here's what I get now:I love Wireless G hehe Quote
NIM Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 I love Wireless "N", although I'm still not using it :naughty: Quote
cygnus Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I was thinking of doing that, but Wireless N was about $400 versus $136 Quote
PorPorMe Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 That was pretty cool. I think you can do the same at DSLreports but this is so much easier, and the testing site is about 15 miles from my house! How cool is that! :dancing: Quote
Scrat Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Sorry for my absence on the forum lately, some areas of my city (Montreal) had problem with the internet download speed. It took ages just to perform the speed test (start at 2 kb/s...)It was a painful experience, now I know what the peoples feel with slow internet connection... Quote
NIM Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 Ahh, slow internet connection sucks, hopefully soon everyone will have the opportunity to use broadband connection.Just because of slow connection users, I made this light skin of the forum so they can browse wincert as fast as possible.Glad you're back with us Quote
Sm0k3r Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Just upgraded my line to 16meg and here is my new speed test result. Quote

dareckibmw Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I'm the winner !!! :thumbsup_anim: BUT .....I'm driving on the highway, 75 mph in North Nevada (mountains) right and believe me...its nothing around here ...closest City is the Salt Lake City in Utah - about 250 miles behind me and one in front of me is Reno, Nevada - 340 miles (I'm heading west), so I'm in the middle of fu***ng nowhere !!! but still getting signal on my wireless broadband card. Once I get close to Reno I'll check my speed and post it again.No, I wont be gambling today :naughty:reason for editing - typo (****, I'm driving) oh, and I found this in my bookmarks - cable connection at home (old screen shot but still close to that, maybe even better now) Edited May 10, 2009 by dareckibmw Quote
